ROAR! I'm hungry for more books like this---so I can EAT!

I kept putting off the time I would "eat" this book cause it's about "Hollywood and all that." I thought it would all be about: "Oh no, my hair is lopsided!" and all that dumb nonsense about how they look and how glamorous a movie star's life is. Instead I got rivalry and family problems and I know the way I say this sounds no better than my first opinion but nevertheless this book is way cool! I think Brad is a total jerk and I'm SO glad that Alison broke up with him. I mean, talk about a waste of space! Sheesh. And the way Ilene Cooper(the writer,)makes Mr.O'leary talk seems so... real. I actually feel SYMPATHY for the characters in this story, I mean the way they talk, act and feel seems so realistic. The promblem (or the good thing) about Jamie and Alison is they are practically EQUAL. I mean Alison is all sweet, innocent, pretty, nice and understanding but she's WAY too goody-goody and easy to push around. Now Jamie is also pretty but in a different way, even though she is also a redhead. See Jamie is more curvy and athletic-looking, (at least that's how I think of her,) and Alison is all slim and angelic-looking. Now Jamie has a tougher life and is more of an individual while Alison depends so much on her "mommy and daddy". I feel sorry for the O'leary family cause everything is all messed up. In the summary of the book I don't think it's right to mention Jamie's diet. It wasn't that big of a deal. Dana is a total and complete, I mean "incomplete" airhead and is totally weird and unreasonably pushy. I LUV it when Jamie told her off, she had it coming. I sort of think it isn't fair, at the prom, Jamie had a great time (except for ugh, Brad,) and Alison had practically the worst night of her life because of duh... Brad. I wish Elsie appeared more in the story, she's cute. Overall, this book is a must-read and you better read it or else... P.S. I apologise for my uhh... strange way of speaking. Ta-ta!
